The government last week set the ball rolling for the construction of MP Chambers, which would have offices for all members of parliament in the vicinity of the under-construction new Parliament building.
The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) on November 19 invited pre-qualification bids from companies for the project, estimated to cost Rs 14.35 billion. The bidding is open till December 10, after which the selected bidders would be asked to submit financial bids. As a part of its redevelopment of the Central Vista area, the government has proposed constructing offices for all MPs, to be connected to the Parliament complex through underground passageways. The proposed MP Chambers would have three blocks and one utility block.
“The site is located on existing Transport Bhavan and Shram Shakti Bhavan, adjacent to Press Trust of India in plot number 119, in high security zone. The proposed office buildings shall be of reinforced cement concrete framed structure building. The existing structures on plot number 119 are to be demolished before the start of new construction,” the pre-qualification bid document said.
